Why Should I Care About My Teeth Being Straight?
A beautiful smile gives you confidence and makes you more attractive. But teeth straightening is more than just cosmetics.
The upper and lower jaw and teeth fitting together properly is vital. Teeth not aligned correctly leads to jaw pain, headaches, cracked teeth, tooth loss, bone loss, gum recession and gum disease.
The consequences of not fixing the bite leads to costly dental treatments, such as implants, crowns, bone graft, and gum grafts.
Prevention is the key. Our goal at Farhoumand Dentistry is for you to keep your natural teeth healthy for your entire life.
Say good-bye to the goop with iTero®!
No more messy impressions! At Farhoumand Dentistry, we are proud to offer an iTero 3D scanner. We take pride in providing modern, high-quality care so you can have the smile you deserve. We are constantly updating our equipment in order to provide patients with state-of-the-art dental care.
One of our newest pieces of equipment is our iTero 3D scanner. It allows us to take images of your smile. We can also use it to show you the results you can get with Invisalign®.
The largest benefit of producing images with our scanner is that you won’t have to get impressions made, which can be quite unpleasant. You won’t have to deal with the unpleasant taste of the gooey material, or the discomfort of the molding trays. Instead, the scanning process is quite comfortable, and you can breathe normally during the procedure.
The procedure is also completely safe because there is no radiation. Instead, it uses a laser to form the images.
Our iTero 3D scanner allows us to ensure that your Invisalign® aligners or retainers fit perfectly in your mouth. After taking the images, we can get you fitted and started with your new aligners faster than if we had to make an impression.
Our iTero 3D scanner is instant technology. We can see your digital smile and the results instantly.
Dr. Foad Farhoumand is always available for any questions and will keep you up to date on your progress.
Starting At $95/month!
Some dental insurances have coverage for orthodontics and our staff will be able to help you maximize your coverage.
You can pay for Invisalign using pre-tax money from flexible spending accounts (FSA) or health saving accounts (HSA). You also have the option of 0% financing through a 3rd party.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign is a system designed to gradually straighten your teeth and correct your bite by wearing a series of clear, removable aligners. Unlike the traditional metal braces, there are no restrictions when it comes to Invisalign.
What is the process?
Invisalign® treatment starts with a complimentary consultation with Dr. Foad Farhoumand. We will take a precise 3-D digital scan of your teeth with our revolutionary iTero Element® scanner and then Dr. Foad will create a customized treatment plan for you. You will be able to go over the goal of your treatment and how to achieve it with him personally. Dr. Foad is always happy and available to answer any questions you have about the process.
Who is a candidate for Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign can be used by anyone who has mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or crooked teeth. Anyone who needs to correct their bite is a candidate. Remember a correct bite will allow you to keep your teeth. Teeth not aligned correctly leads to jaw pain, headaches, cracked teeth, tooth loss, bone loss, gum recession, and gum disease. Prevention is key and Invisalign is an excellent way to do it.
What are the benefits of Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign can align teeth faster than traditional metal braces. The clear aligners are almost invisible so you will still look good wearing them as opposed to metal braces. But the major benefit is that you are able to remove the aligners and brush and floss your teeth. It is crucial to be able to get into those hard-to-reach areas so you don’t get plaque build-ups. Plaque causes gum inflammation which ultimately can lead to periodontal disease. Good oral hygiene is a must and with Invisalign, it is easy to do.
How Often do I wear my aligners?
To achieve optimum results, you should wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day. You can have them off for special occasions, playing sports or an instrument when you see the need.
Are there any restrictions on what I can eat and drink while in treatment?
Unlike traditional metal braces, there are no food restrictions with Invisalign. You just take out your aligners and enjoy whatever you want to eat or drink.
How will Invisalign treatment affect my life?
In the beginning, some people experience a slight lisp but that quickly disappears in a day or two. Otherwise, Invisalign is a great option for you to maintain a normal lifestyle. You can easily remove your aligners to maintain good oral hygiene and to eat or drink whatever you want.
How much does Invisalign treatment cost and what are the payment options?
Invisalign treatment can be done as little as $99/month. Some dental insurance companies have lifetime benefits for orthodontics. Our staff can help to maximize your dental benefits if you have coverage. We offer other options to make Invisalign cost-effective for you. You can pay for your treatment using your pre-tax dollars set aside in your HSA or FSA account. We also provide monthly financing options through a third-party company and we have an in-house monthly payment plan designed for our Invisalign patients.
What are Invisalign aligners made of?
The aligners are made with a patented clear flexible plastic which makes them to be comfortable to wear. Invisalign aligners have been FDA approved since 1998 and contain no BPA, PBS, latex, or gluten.
What is the difference between Invisalign treatment vs. at-home options?
It is important to know that with at-home options you do not have the expertise of the dentist which is vital especially when it comes to adjusting your bite. Having the wrong bite can cause issues such as TMJ, headaches, breakage of teeth, and even periodontal disease.
